Since the beginning of this week, many places on the mainland have felt the power of the cold winter, with heavy snow falling in many places in the north, and the temperature in the south also reversing cold and warm. Affected by this, the "2023 Jiangsu 10km Road Running Championship", which was originally scheduled to be held in Nanjing on December 16, was postponed.
Judging from the current situation, the 2023 Hangzhou Marathon will still start as scheduled this Sunday, when more than 36,000 athletes and enthusiasts will participate in the full marathon, half marathon and other events. Judging by the current weather forecast, Sunday is likely to usher in a cold day, with lows expected to be below 0°C and highs between 3°C and 4°C.
This is the first Hangzhou Marathon in history to start in winter, and it is also the coldest Hangzhou Marathon in history, which is also a challenge for the organizers of the event. In order to ensure that the runners of the Hangzhou Marathon Race can reach the finish line safely and with peace of mind, the organizing committee has also made a lot of corresponding measures. Runners who have received the Hangzhou Marathon equipment bag should have discovered that in addition to the necessary race T-shirts, number bibs, etc., this year's equipment bag also includes disposable raincoats and three warm babies, which are very "warm".
"The food supply station on the track has prepared a variety of food supplies, in addition to the regular bananas, energy gels, salt pills, this year specially equipped with Snickers and sea salt flavored cheese sticks. At the end of the half and full marathons, thermal blankets and hot ginger soup were also prepared for all participants. The relevant person in charge of the Hangzhou Horse Organizing Committee said that this year, the way of storing clothes in Hangzhou and Horse has also taken a "similar to the express cabinet", which can be accessed by scanning the code to reduce everyone's waiting time.
Considering the low temperature, the organizing committee also made some minor adjustments in the design of the track, and the track along the river was reduced by nearly half. "More than a month before the race, we considered that there might be cold weather, and although the scenery of running by the river was good, the river breeze had a great impact on the loss of body temperature. The relevant person in charge said.
In addition, the emergency protection has also been upgraded, and the medical unit has been added. A total of 22 ambulances and 130 AED defibrillators were deployed in Hangzhou and Malaysia, and more than 300 first-aid runners were recruited before the race to provide corresponding support, and program equipment and medicines were also added to the first-aid station. Every day, the organizing committee will also release the weather conditions on the 17th, accurate to the hour, so that the participants can evaluate whether their physical condition is suitable for running.
Before the competition, the organizing committee also carried out many scientific publicity in response to the low temperature situation, and called on everyone to "safety is the most important", and must adjust whether to participate in the competition in time according to their own situation. After all, "getting home safely" is the end of the marathon.
How do you run the coldest Hangzhou horse?
Keep warm
Carry a high-calorie supply with you
Dizziness, chest tightness, and shivering stop when you appear
So, how to run the coldest Hangzhou horse? The Orange Persimmon Interactive reporter asked the great god running friend "Rome" of the Hangzhou Running Alliance about some of his experience.
Originally known as Chi Jinsong, Rome has been running since 2015 and is not only a "regular" of marathon events, but also a keen cross-country race. "Marathon is an extreme sport. Rome said that the temperature in Hangzhou is so low this time, it is recommended that everyone refer to cross-country running in terms of clothing and materials. Based on his own experience, he gave everyone three "tips".
The first is what to wear, and Roma advises runners to press "three clothes" to prepare for the day's race. "We've been keeping an eye on the weather on race day lately, with low temperatures and strong winds, especially along the river. Rome suggests that you should wear a quick-drying T-shirt at the bottom, a long-sleeved shirt with fast perspiration and warmth in the middle, preferably with a wool content of more than 80%, and a "skin coat" to block the wind. The preparation of clothes should also take into account the problem of putting on and taking off, and you can bring a waist bag with a larger capacity during the game, which can not only hold mobile phones, energy gels and other items, but also put the clothes you take off into it. "Of course, everyone's goals are different, the pace is different, and the outfit can vary from person to person, and a down vest is also a good choice. I think that runners who have more than 4 hours can get on the cross-country equipment and carry the cross-country bag. ”
The second is supplies, Rome recommends that runners have more supplies, and you can bring a thermos cup filled with hot drinks in advance to ensure your heat before departure. During the race, the first 5 kilometers because the body did not run away, you can drink more hot drinks to replenish calories. In the middle section of about 20 kilometers, because the pace is in, the temperature of the body will basically be maintained, but when the track turns to the river at about 30 kilometers, the river breeze will make the temperature of the body lose quickly, and at this time, it is necessary to go to the supply point to "increase the temperature" of the body. At the same time, he also advises runners to bring more energy bars in case they need them.
The third is to drink water, and Roma advises runners to "eat less and make more". The weather was cold on the day of the race, and there was less water loss than in hot weather, so there was less need for water. "You can drink more water more often and less each time. ”
Dr. Wu Xueyu, who has been running marathons since 1997, will be the "first aid runner" of Hangzhou Marathon, and she also advises runners to keep warm and wear hats and gloves. "Don't wear short-sleeved shorts for the sake of grades. Running outdoors on low temperature days will cause damage to the human body due to rapid heat loss and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular constriction. Dr. Wu said, "You must eat breakfast, you must warm up well before departure, and it is recommended to bring high-calorie supplies such as chocolate with you." The most important thing is to do what you can, and if you experience dizziness, chest tightness, chills and shivering during the run, you must stop immediately and seek help from a volunteer or emergency doctor. ”

There is no coldest, only colder
The marathon, which is more than minus 50 degrees Celsius, has not been completed this year
The 42.195-kilometer marathon is one of the hardest sports and a great test of willpower. Do you know where the coldest marathon in the world is? Oymyakon, Republic of Sakha, Russian Federation. This is the coldest region in the world that is inhabited all year round, so it is also known as the "cold pole" of the Northern Hemisphere.
On January 22 last year, 65 athletes from the United Arab Emirates, the United States, Belarus and other countries ran a marathon outdoors at minus 53 degrees Celsius in Oymyakon. In the end, Vasily Lukin completed the 42.195km race in 3 hours and 22 minutes to win the men's category, while the women's race was won by local Marina Sedalischeva in 4 hours and 9 minutes.
In January, the world's coldest marathon continued to run in Oymyakon, but this time only 16 runners participated, the youngest was 21 years old, the oldest was 71 years old, and a woman was a mother of eight children. Sadly, not a single competitor finished this year's event.
